when 1t was done in Salt Lake, except
that Agnes Booth replaces Caroline

short of that handsome actor, how

him than a muly COW. Holland gets

FIRST NIGHT.
1t is a great sight to see the first
night of new piece at swell theatre
Ike Walack's. we had the good fortune
to be present at the opening perform
ance of The Dominie's Daughter, an
American revolutionary drama by Mr.
Lloyd, New York LAWYER; it was a
pleasant, but not great play. and i!
made sufficient of an impression to
warrant calling the author, the scene
painter, and the principals before the
curtain two or three times. 1t was
curious to note the popularity OF the
differentA people engaged. As each
made his or her appearance, there was
heavy round of applause, then
another, then another; at the end of
which the actor bowed and went on

was extended to everyone from sweet

four acts to get her away from.
The Domlnies Daughter will go for
some time, because it is so well acted,
but it is evidently not designed for an
extended run.
RUDDYGoRE.
Gilbert & Sullivan's new opera, finely
sung, staged, acted and orchestrate1, is
playing to business at the Fifth Avenue
calculated to make its managers hair
turn White in a single light. Geraldine
Ulmar, soprano, and Courtice Pounds,
tenor, are the particular lights, and are
the best Gilbert & Sullivan exponents
we have ever seen. Thorne, the New
York Ko Ko, is a muf as the comedy
man in Ruddygore. If our Spencer ever
gave such performance as Thorne is
nightly guilty of, he would be hooted
from DBniel to Bathsheba. The trouble
with Ruddygore is that it lacks mo-
tive, raison d'etTe, it can give no good
excuse for living. The three or tour
good things in it are not sufficient to
pull it through; it is silly at times, and
only once in while funny. Still it is so
exquisitely done that il may do we'll on
the road. Philadelphia has already
taken to it much kindlier than New
York.
EaMINIE.
At the Casino the sparkling music,
handsome costumes, shapely limbs,
pretty faces and funnyisms' of Francis
Wilson have given Erminie run which
outdistances that of Nanon, Olivette or
the Mascotte; it has been going every
night for nine months TO houses
crowded back to the walls. Carleton
and Drew will appear n this opera in
Salt Lake shortly, so you will have an
opportU nifty for yourselves OF judging OF
the reasons for its popularity. Those
two actors ought to make immense
characters Of the two thieves.
